This page features a mouth-watering Recipe from the state of Mississippi. Enjoy this Mississippi Mud Pie with Pecans and Marshmallow Creme.

Mississippi has about a hundred pecan groves located throughout the state.

There's nothing quite like the taste of pecans picked fresh from the grove. Fresh pecans are softer textured and have a richer, more buttery flavor than the store bought varieties most of us are accustomed to. 

The best time to eat pecans is harvest time, which is November through January, when the crops are plentiful, the quality is at its best, and the prices are low. 


Pecans are very high in protein and low in saturated fats, although not all pecan recipes are classified as health food.
